first embodiment
[0054]In a first embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the first wall 42 is mounted about its periphery 50 to the band 40 and the second wall 43 is mounted about its periphery 51 to the band 40. The first and second walls 42, 43 each comprise substantially flat plates 52, 53 and curved portions 54, 55 that curve from the edges of the plates 52, 53 towards a direction orthogonal to the major plane of the plates 52, 53. Lips 56, 57 extend from the curved portions 54, 55 to the wall peripheries 50, 51 parallel to the major plane of the plates 52, 53. When assembled, each periphery 50, 51 is located in one of two contiguous slots 58, 59 extending around the internal surface 45 of the band 40. The slots 58, 59 are located adjacent to the sides of the internal surface 45 with a space therebetween to provide a volume for the enclosure.
[0055]The substantially flat plates 52, 53 are each preferably relatively rigid but also partially deformable. In construction, each plate 52, 53 is...
second embodiment
[0056]In a second embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the first and second walls 42, 43 are both mounted adjacent to each other about their peripheries 60, 61 in a single slot 62 extending around the internal surface 45 of the band 40. FIG. 6B shows the slot 62 being formed by the outer edges of the band 40 being bent inwards towards one another, although in other embodiments the slot 62 is formed by a groove cut into the band 40. The first and second walls 42, 43 each comprise substantially flat planar parts 63, 64 and flanges 65, 66 connected by inward curved portions 67, 68. Lips 69, 70 extend from the flanges 65, 66 to the wall peripheries 60, 61 parallel to the major plane of the flat planar parts 63, 64. When assembled, the flat planar parts 65, 66 are positioned adjacent to the internal surface 45 of the band 40.
third embodiment
[0057]In a third embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the first and second walls 42, 43 each have a flat planar portion 77, 78 and a flange 78, 79 extending inwardly from the respective flat planar portion. The flat planar portions 77, 78 are joined to the respective flanges 78, 79 through curved portions 81, 82. In one embodiment (as shown in FIG. 8B), the flat planar portions 77, 78 and flanges 78, 79 are formed as single, contiguous members. In other embodiments, the flat planar portions 77, 78 may be formed separately from the flanges 78, 79 and in that case the flat planar portions 77, 78 may be permanently bonded to the respective flanges 78, 79, or selectively separable from / connectable to one another.
[0058]The flanges preferably extend about half the width of the band 40 inwardly of the respective flat planar portions 77, 78. Each of the first and second walls 42, 43 is mounted in use onto an intermediate support frame 75. In particular, the flanges 78, 79 are sli...
